Wait a minute, …what about all those g5 redesigns of the mane 6? Or where they just never going to be a part of g5, in the first place?

@DrEraser  
Those are pegasi

@Background Pony #1161  
Don’t you mean pilot?

@Background Pony #1161  
What does that mean?

This movie could be a piot

@Background Pony #64A0  
Call it a sequel if you want. But you might change your mind after watching it.

@Tomoko Tanue  
The similarity to the toys had me thinking of “Hasbro’s off-brand Toy Story”. That said, I would love to watch a massive crossover of off-brand Hasbro Toy Story where Izzy rides the shoulder of Optimus Prime to rescue Sunny from the Decepticons.

@Vengir  
Does this mean that there really is a sequel to the G4 movie from 2017.

Likely a Pokey McStabby preventative, similar to the Unicorn Protection Device (aka red rubber ball) from White Pony Productions.

@skunkwolfe  
his name is hitch trailblazer

@Jaggarunder  
The end is only a beginning.

@Tomoko Tanue  
I was reminded of Shrek too when Sunny bumped into <placeholder name> and he bumped her off screen.

@northern haste  
Does this mean that the 2017 movie now has a sequel?

It’s tough to call it a sequel to G4. Different time period, different characters, doesn’t require prior knowledge to enjoy. The only things that are the same are the lore, universe and Equestria. You could call it a sequel if you want, but many people would disagree.
 
I haven’t watched Avatar myself,, so I can’t assess the accuracy of such statement, but I saw the whole thing compared to a jump from the Last Airbender and the Legend of Korra.

@northern haste  
Well then why is the G5 movie and cartoon set in the same universe/continuity of G4 A.K.A. Friendship Is Magic?

@Background Pony #64A0  
The beast wars cartoon took place in the same universe as the old G1 cartoon

@northern haste  
Who said that G5 is like a ripoff to the Beast Era? The Beast Era is the true sequel to the original Transformers cartoon. While Headmasters, Super-God Masterforce, victory, and Zone aren’t because they’re not in our country thank god. I don’t trust or like these Japanese exclusive spin-off sequels because I don’t like how Optimus Prime died three times, Ultra Magnus died twice, and Megatron/Galvatron died in Headmasters. But the animation looks great.

@northern haste  
You mean the movie was not sequel to the G4 2017 movie due to G4 coming to an end and the G5 series is not a sequel to the G4 series?

Earth pony MC = YES!!!!!

@northern haste  
You mean the movie is not a direct sequel to the 2017 movie due to the G4 tv show coming to an end? And the G5 series is not a direct sequel to the G4 series?

@Vengir  
You mean the new movie will not be a sequel to the 2017 movie due to the G4 tv show coming to an end in 2019?

@Background Pony #C2FC  
It’s a “soft reboot”, because you don’t need to have watched G4 to know what’s going on, and it’s completely new time period and characters. But it’s not a “hard reboot”, because it’s still the same universe and the events of G4 did occur in the past and there will likely be some occasional references.

@northern haste  
You mean that G5 will be like G2 comics of Transformers from the G1 Continuity?

@Background Pony #C2FC  
And this is in the same world

@northern haste  
Except it wasn’t. G4 is over! Remember?
